How to ‘cut posts’/ ‘edit replies’ without extensions:
Here’s a step by step guide on how to edit your replies for tumblr rping without using things like X-Kit or Tampermonkey.
Due to images everything is under readmore.
Start by clicking the reblog button. Once the reblog appears save your partners last picture to a folder on your computer. Label this folder something simple like rp parner gifs or other or something.
Then copy your partners text (ctrl+c)
Past to the commentary section of the reblog
Upload you partners image afterward. What you’ve just done should look exactly the same as your partners reply.:
Now delete the previous reblog:
Only the copy you made of your partners last reply should be seen:
indent the text you just copied and then add your reply:
Then just add some tags and reblog. If the folder you made for your rp partners reply gifs gets too full just delete it. No need to go hunting in a full folder for gifs that aren’t yours. This is a little more tedious than using X-Kit but it’s really helpful if you can’t get the extension to work. Hope it helps.
I think the next thing I post will just be a lot of icons from My hero Academia. If you have Icon requests of another manga let me know. I’ll see what I can do.
We have a few people that are new to tumblr rping so I’ve made a comprehensive guide on my rph blog. Hopefully, these links will help you understand how to rp on tumblr.
Okay so you have a muse and have joined a group or decided to go with indie rp. Now what? Set up a blog for your character! This is a small guide on how to edit your tumblr theme to fit as a muse blog. This is for people new to tumblr, so some of it may be obvious. Just skip to the part you need help with. It is a step by step guide so it shouldn’t be that hard to find what you need.
First find a theme you like, you can google search for themes through google but as long as you are just rping one muse the theme can just be simple and easy to navigate. Here are a few posts with some simple themes that are really nice.
Night Violets Themes
Glen Themes
If you’re confused about how to take these themes and edit them to fit your character I’ll go over that too, just follow along.
After you’ve found a theme that you like the caption attached to the post should have all the information about the logistics of the theme. It’s polite to like the post that way the creator has a better chance of more people seeing their stuff and you can go back to it if you need information on the logistics of the theme.
To copy the code, click on the code hyperlink, this is usually near the preview.
After clicking on code it will take you away from tumblr to a html code holding cite. Highlight and copy then entire code.
Afterward head back to tumblr. Click on edit appearance to the right:
Scroll down and click on edit theme:
This page will then pop up, click on customize html:
You’ll be in your themes html coding page. Highlight previous code and paste the new code here:
Click upgrade preview and if you like how it looks click save.
Click the back arrow and if the coder is good you’ll have a much more comprehensive theme edit page. Some themes will have a header image or a sidebar image that you can upload. Try to make these images cohesive and make them represent the character you are wanting to play.
If you’re confused about the size of the image go pack to the coder’s theme post and check out the caption. Usually it will give you the dimensions of all the images involved in the theme.
There may be places that allow you to put in url links. This is a good way to make pages about your character including background, biography, and general information.
If you are linking a page or tag in your blog all you have to do is put a forwardslash and it will direct you there. If you would like to link the rp blog you belong to you must put the whole url.
You can create pages in your edit theme as well, these are great for basic info about your character like bio, relationships, or wanted connections.
If you have any questions or concerns please ask and I will try to make the guide more comprehensive.
So I’ve actually gotten a lot of questions in my RP group about tumblr rping and have decided to make a comprehensive guide for them. I really hope this helps anyone curious about rping on tumblr as it’s really fun!
Below the cut is a step by step how to on tumblr rping.
Here is a masterpost of roleplay terminology you should have open while reading this guide if you are new to roleplaying/roleplaying on tumblr.
There are 2 major aspects of tumblr RP. Group and Indie
Group - group rps are set around a group of people with their individual muses being directed by a main rp blog. The main would have it’s own rules and regulations, and would converge all the players together and either accept or reject the character into the group. The main blog’s purpose is to make sure all the player are staying active and being inclusive in their roleplaying. When you are in an rp group it is usually closed. Meaning you only interact with other people in that rp group.
Tags to find rp groups: rp, rpg, rp group, roleplay, roleplay group
If you are looking for specific rp groups put their name in front of rp to get a more controlled result: harry potter rp, college rp, superhero rp
Most groups have some sort of application you must fill out in order to join the group, some are have no application or are appless rp groups. You can also search by these criteria.
Tags: appless rp, bio rp, skeleton rp
Indie - indie rp is when you have a muse but no rp group to put them in. Indie rp blogs have a muse that posts starters to all of tumblr to reply to. Indie rps can set up their own blog with their own rules and guidelines that people replying to the indie rp blog’s starters must follow.
Tags: indie rp, independent rp, open starter, open, starter
Etiquette and Manners when RPing on Tumblr
Rules and Guidelines - Most rp groups and indies have a page dedicated to their rules and guidelines. Sometimes these are hard to find because a blog can be very aesthetic pleasing but hard to navigate. Some blogs have a navigation page that might be easier to find. Usually the rules page is easy to access from there. If you simply can’t find it message the blog through ask, most people are very nice.
Harassment - this is a hobby. Please do not message a partner or possible partner multiple times in one day unless they specifically say they are okay with it. This can come off as annoying or needy and make the sender a very unbecoming prospective rp partner. Also, apologizing constantly about multiple messages does not make it okay or make the sender look any less needy. If no one has gotten back to you send them a message every few days.
Loss of Muse - If you are in an rp with another person and they are struggling to get back to you or visa versa have a conversation OOC. Discuss how you can fix it or if it should just end so you can start something new. If you feel it but the other person doesn’t DON’T harass your partner. Just accept it and move on.
Length - Unless stated by the mun directly, try to match length and move the story forward. If your partner writes 2 paragraphs try to match by writing 2 paragraphs. If you feel like you can’t do your best and fill what you can with sustenance. No one like writing a lot just to get a one line response.
Cut your Posts: No one likes scrolling through the dash and having a multiple foot thread take up space. This is very easy. Here’s a tip on how to use X-Kit to cut posts. If you don’t have X-Kit you can do it the old fashion way. Save the gif the last person used and copy the text they posted. Then delete the reblog and just paste the text you copied and upload the gif you saved that they used.
Images: While rping on tumblr people tend to use gifs and icons of a certain person or character to symbolize their own character. Having very large images can make someone’s blog look clunky and they may not rp with you because of it. There are plenty of ways to make images smaller. If your good at photoshop use that but here are a few ways to do it without an image editing software. Here’s a tutorial on using html to lessen size, though it doesn’t guarantee that the image gets a lot smaller. Here’s a tutorial using the ezgif website that allows you to choose the size directly.
This is mainly for anime and cartoon rpers but if you like using icons instead of gifs for your muses feel free.
I’ll be using ezgif.com to take this image:
And get an icon from it:
Explanation with pictures under readmore:
take the image and go to ezgif.com
click on crop
choose a file from your computer and upload the image:
When the image is uploaded click on square in the aspect ratio right underneath the image:
A highlighted square should appear over your image in the shape of a perfect square. It may have been there already but this way the new image is sure to be a square. You can enlarge or shrink the square and move it over the section of the image you wish to crop.
now scroll down and click on the large blue ‘Crop Image’ button. Right underneath that a small thinking cat will appear and once the program is done your image will take it’s place. You should end up with a square icon that the original highlighted square was over.
now as you can see this image is 201x201 and that’s a little big for most icons. Simply click on the resize tool right underneath the image and it will take your new icon to the resize page. Right below the icon you just created will be a height and width margin.
Put whatever pixel size in either of the spaces and change the aspect ratio to stretch to fit. And there you go. You have an new icon.
This is honestly a really fast process and super helpful if you don’t have things like photoshop or gimp.
So you’re in a tumblr rp and you get a message from the admins saying you need to use smaller images. This is pretty easy to fix.
Below the cut is a step by step tutorial to edit the size of your gifs or pictures.
1. Download XKit. [Click here for Link,] Without XKit you will only be able to edit your own pictures, not previous ones you are replying to. This is only really important if you are using it for rps but can be helpful for usual tumblr usage.
2. To edit the picture click on the settings cog in the top right of your reblog.
3. Next to Text Editor, change it from Rich Text to HTML.
4. Now that the code for the reblog is showing the GIF or IMG part of the code is automatically highlighted a different color. Images on tumblr tend to auto resize to fit the tumblr post. The code doing this is called: "tmblr-full". I’ve highlighted it in yellow on this HTML post.
Simply delete that AND ONLY THAT and it reverts the picture to it’s original size.
Joining an rp group on tumblr can be a little stressful for people either just starting or if they’re coming back from a long hiatus. Back when Yahoo bought Tumblr it went through a huge makeover. Which made editing text replies very difficult. When a rp group asks for you to ‘edit your replies’ they mean for you to delete the previous post you made in that conversation before posting your reply. The circled part below.
Deleting a part of previous posts is impossible without downloaded programs meant to help you edit your tumblr posts. Below the cut is a step by step tutorial on how to edit tumblr posts in 2018 and what you’ll need to do so.
1. Download XKit. [click here for link] XKit is an add-on for most browsers that helps tumblr users turn the platform into whatever they want it to be. Once XKit is installed, make sure during instillation to turn off any and all pop up blockers, restart your browser.
2. Once XKit has been downloaded a new button should appears in your tumblr toolbar. If it does not, restart your browser. If it still does not show up a system restart might be in order.
Click on the XKit button and open the window. The left side of your XKit widow will not be as full as mine once you start off. Now, click on Get Extensions.
3. Install Editable Reblogs Extension.
The Extensions are in alphabetical order so it should be easy to find. Other extensions are fun and useful but the Editable Reblogs is the only one you’ll need to edit replies on tumblr.
4. Once Editable Reblogs is turned on a new button appears whenever you try to reblog something on tumblr.
Once you click on it the tumblr post will revert to the pre-yahoo style of reblog.
See the difference? The faint line separating your reply the previous ones disappears. This makes editing previous replies doable.
5. Delete your previous reply.
Tahda! All gone. Now you can place whatever tags you like and reblog. You have officially cut and edited your reply.
I hope everyone finds this helpful. Trust that it is not nearly as difficult as I have made it out to be. In reality once everything is installed you just click one button then delete what you need to. Have fun RPing.
